tom clancys Facist????

I have graw2 and is a very good game and all that but i still cant keep thinking about some really offensive things against all of us

non united states citizen that also live in this two big continents called americas, im chilean for you who doesnt know is in south america(no, and no, south american isnt close to mexico) i know is a game and all that but calling mexico your backyard i treating latin people as some rebels without future who need the contro of the united states just to keep us from killing each others, it just dont feel rigth

i hope this dont bother anyone

but anyway i just my opinion

thanks

As you're Chilean and English is more than likely a secondary language for you, I'll cut you some slack for clearly not knowing what fascist means or how to spell it. Back on topic, the reason Mexico is chosen is because it's quite obviously America's most vulnerable border and because our friends South of the border generally aren't as easily offended as some other people. Look at all the hullaballo that they're getting with Resident Evil 5 being set in Africa. Apart from that one mayor -- I think it was the mayor of Juarez and he just wanted to get on TV for a minute -- Mexico is a pretty laid back bunch of people who can distinguish between an insult and a video game. They've got to be set somewhere, and a military game in space is pretty hokey.

i know you think that is just a game and all that but when you see something about killing U.S.A citizen. Hell everyone seem to think that a terrorist made the game

tell what you would think if a foreing country supported a coup in your country that killed more people than the 11-9

for a foering country i mean UNITED STATES

you would be pretty f.x.K u.p too

yeah i think i need to work on the english a little,

kinda sucs

Nope, people just light the fire.

Technically....Mexico is America's "back yard," if you consider that Mexico is behind it, and Canada is in front of it (being to the north). Then again, that's just a retarded way attempting to make myself win an argument that can't really be woncould understand why some people may think it is offensive but...honestly, I hope to god you have more important things to worry about.

i played the first and i kinda liked it but i loved playing in the stress of mexico and watching vocho taxi's parked all over

Gears of war had a look alike KKK in the prosess level.

if there was a game killing people in the USA i'd still get it, i dont care, as long as i can shoot them. the only way i would be offended would be if they all had my face.ctfvyrsgurbnorn

It's called Grand Theft Auto. You might've played it once or twice

hell no yer both our back yard the terrirories and alaska are our front yard

I hate people who take offense to a game.

Basically, I hate people just like you.

I think referring to a place as being your "back yard" just implies that's nearby. You could equally say that the US is Mexico's back yard. It's not meant to be offensve, it's just a figure of speech.

And as for Tom Clancy being Fascist, that's just ridiculous. The fact is that Tom Clancy bases his work on near-future scenarios that could potentially happen in the real world. By definition, some nation has to be the bad guy, and therefore somebody is going to be PO'd. Don't you think that some Georgian people were annoyed that their country was the bad guy in the original Splinter Cell? Someone has to be the bad guy if you are going to use alternative histories of real nations. It doesn't mean that people think any less of those nations in the real world.

Like yencanwasu says you're thinking too much about a game. It's not meant to convey any message or opinion on anything. It's just for entertainment.

Also, your english is not bad for someone who doesn't speak it natively. There are far more that do worse than you on these forums, and english is their primary language.

That is true but then again there are still a small percent of people that take things seriously and insult other nations in the World.

Firstly, it's 9/11... and yeah, that was an unfortunate turn of events, but some of us have the capacity to move on with our lives and maybe learn something from the situation. Regrettably, sometimes I feel like I'm in the minority there, but whatever. That's something for the Off Topic boards.

Secondly, as someone had already pointed out, GTA involves killing American citizens. As did Postal. As did History Channel's American Civil War. All kinds of games involve killing Americans, and the only people who care are IDIOTS.

As far as supporting a coup in my country? Well, it depends on who it was that was rebelling. Another Samuel Adams or Thomas Jefferson? Great! Some Marxist idiot who wants complete governmental control and the equal sharing of misery? Go suck an egg, pal. But I don't see what the idea of revolution has to do with whether or not people should be offended by a video game.

I'm 50% German 25% Italian 25% English; and 100% American. Mexico is garbage. They still park their cars on their lawns, and wonder why their country looks ugly.
